Farm workers: there's a heat advisory across much of CA. Please be careful. Your life comes first. If your worksite is not offering WATER, SHADE, and REST - call the farm worker heat safety hotline at 1-877-881-8281. Reporting heat safety violations saves workers' lives.
This is our first in an ongoing series of Fun* Fast Food Facts. Maybe we'll do every Friday for alliteration purposes. Maybe we'll not. Might even throw one in at 2am on a Tuesday... *not all will be fun.
California Fast Food Workers Union@cafastfoodunion.org · 5d ago**FUN FRIDAY FAST FOOD FACT** Fast food tycoons spend big money to prevent workers in our communities from empowering themselves by learning about their legally protected rights. Our bosses constantly claim investing in workers will hurt small franchise operators. Don’t buy it. #FastFoodFairWork

Our statement regarding the Trump Administration's decision to drop charges against our union brother David Huerta.
Congrats to Prince William County Workers and SEIU Virginia 512 on voting YES to win their union. This victory adds to the growing movement of working people demanding a voice on the job in Northern Virginia and across the country. ✊ #UnionsForAll
ICE took our @seiulocal73.bsky.social union brother Josue Pire-Hidalgo after his scheduled check-in appointment and flew him out of state. Away from his children, his wife, and the students and staff of Farnsworth Elementary who rely on him every single day.
SEIU Local 73@seiulocal73.bsky.social · 2w agoJosue Pire Hidalgo opens our schools every morning. He's Local 73. He's Chicago. He went to a scheduled ICE appointment — and they took him and his family.
Filing for bankruptcy shouldn’t let our boss avoid paying us what we’re owed.
Food service workers at places like Starbucks and Carl's Jr. are taking action, even as the Trump administration attempts to weaken the NLRB.

BREAKING: Workers are ON STRIKE at Carl’s Jr.’s locations across Los Angeles. The owner of this franchise filed for bankruptcy. We’re doing whatever we can to ensure the bankruptcy judge doesn’t let the company off the hook for over $112,000 in wages and penalties!
Airport service workers keep this industry moving, & we demand respect. While airlines can afford to double CEO pay, they & their contractors keep workers fighting for basic needs. We won’t settle for poverty wages. Pass the Good Jobs for Good Airports Act & give us our fair share!
Today, July 10, marks one year since the brutal and chaotic immigration raid by the US DHS on Glass House Farms in Ventura County, CA which resulted in more than 300 farm workers detained by federal agents and the violent death of farm worker Jaime Alanis Garcia. 1/
Today Weinerschnitzel workers marched on the boss after we received threats for raising health and safety concerns, especially cockroach infestation! #FastFoodFairWork #UnionsForAll
Proof that when workers know our rights, we exercise them. Teresa is leading the fight to ensure we win mandatory, independent Know-Your-Rights training for every fast food worker in Los Angeles. We won't stop until we win. #FastFoodFairWork
Today we showed up in force with @sbworkersunited.org at Los Angeles City Hall to let Council know that while they're on summer recess, we won't take a break from organizing our coworkers and community. 🧵
UPDATE: We forced our boss to pay us the minimum wage, but they're refusing to give us a schedule, instead calling us into work DAY OF! We're back on strike, letting them know we're serious. Having already filed for $160,000+ in wage theft and penalties, we have more demands. 🧵
California Fast Food Workers Union@cafastfoodunion.org · 2mo agoYUM YUM DONUTS IS: Paying below the minimum wage. Failing to pay for overtime work. Requiring unpaid work off the clock. Failing to provide accurate wage statements. Denying sick leave. Failing to keep accurate records of the hours of work. Failing to provide safe working conditions.
The joy of announcing you've organized a union... there's nothing like it 🥲
If our bosses won't keep us cool on the job, we're walking off! We shouldn't have to suffer extreme heats.
California Fast Food Workers Union@cafastfoodunion.org · 3mo agoTHIS MORNING: McDonald’s workers are on strike due to excessive heat - temps in the kitchen reached 98.2 degrees and management claimed they didn't know how to turn on the air conditioner! The heat gives many of us horrible headaches, and exacerbates symptoms for those of us who have diabetes. 🧵
“For many years we stayed quiet,” Galvez said. “We put up with disrespect, insults, incomplete paychecks, late payments and being forced to work more than eight hours, sometimes 12 or even 14 hours.”

Recently Angelica Hernandez, McDonald's worker and Fast Food Council member, delivered a message to the company and sent a letter to the state about the reality of working at McD's, and why it’s essential law makers and enforcers don’t deny 500,000+ workers like us a seat at the table.

I’m always grateful when Californians make the trek to Sacramento to raise their voices on behalf of their communities. Thank you, @ccpucalifornia.bsky.social for championing access to quality child care and fighting for the families who keep California running every day.

THIS is the power of working people! More than 100k Illinois rideshare drivers just won the right to form a union through the passage of the Rideshare Drivers’ Union Bill. When workers stand together, we build the path to money, power, & respect.
In an era where our rights are being ripped away by the Trump administration and in states across the country, Californians are standing up for our rights. McDonald's and their allies in the fast food industry are on the wrong side of history Source: ethics.lacity.gov/ss/3161572 #FastFoodFairWork
